I did this for a zine my buddies @rat-on-string and @nighttimetapestry organized! Thank you again for the opportunity, I had a blast making this piece.

I'm personally blaming @starbiology and everyone who has reblogged or commented the other piece for this.

Want a drawing of your OC for free?

Hi there! I started this blog because I loooove drawing ppls ocs, but it can be kind of hard to find them at will because many of us store them deep inside our minds 😔😔

So help me out! Use the ask or post submission box to submit a pic of/link to your OC. The more info + images about personality, world, and backstory, the more inspired I tend to get, so go wild! Links to more organized posts/pages are preferred, but I know how it goes so an infodump via ask also works haha

Submitting a req doesn't guarantee I'll draw it, and also the level of completion is completely random depending on how much I end up liking the piece I start 🫣 There's no commission, compensation, or trade factor. You don't have to do anything but submit your oc, kick back, and enjoy my fanart of them

Anyway, here's a bit of my work so you know what you're in for. Thanks for coming by!

I've been checking out the OC tags for a little while, and I can say the state of OC sharing on tumblr is in absolute misery.

We've all discussed how bad the ratio of reblogs has become, how the amount of them have been dwindling those last couple of years, but I think an extra important emphasis has to be made on original creation. Though everything is hit by the lack of sharing, fanarts at least have a tag people will look for, improving their visibility - fandom OCs are sadly shared less than fanarts, in general, but they still enjoy that same visibility.

But what of the purely original? People who have OCs belonging solely to their own world, with a tag nobody will look for? I've been seeing awesome OC art that has been sitting for days and weeks with 0 or 1 notes, sometimes 5 or 6 with luck (though most of the time only likes)... And though there are exceptions, overall, it's a frankly saddening sight.

The way for someone to get attention on their OCs is to already be a well established blog or to produce fanart on the side to build a following. Blogs solely creating original content sit at the bottom of the note pool with no escape in sight.

As much as we praise tumblr for its tagging system and the fact it doesn't kill old posts the way other social media does, it still does fail in the way of uplifting creation that isn't fandom-based.

I don't have a solution to this. It is merely a sad observation. It's only natural that people would look for what they already know and love. But in a world where all of our interactions are linked to consumerism, in a world where automation replaces human imagination, I'd love to see a community of people willing to actively search for, and uplift, the creatives that are trying to peek out of the water.

One reblog may lead to another may lead to a follow, may lead to a creator feeling like their work matters.

So I'm doing it, one reblog at a time.

-Regardless of what you chose in the poll I did yesterday, I would make my decision alone. And I decided to reveal my first name, which is:

-Melissa💛

You don't have to call me by my name, you can continue calling me by my nickname if you want, but if you also want to call me “Melissa” that's okay! Also- I apologize to those who didn't want to know my name and now they know it, it's just that I really wanted to reveal my name so... I made this Gif to show that I'm still Mel, but now, also Melissa to you guys💖

[ * Heyyyy folks (yes the ut text box thing is a typing quirk) I am happy to FINALLY launch this blog!!! ]

[ * This blog is run by @lazy-shapeshiofter and is a hybrid between a RP blog and an ask blog, but tbh at its core it's kinda a well-disguised kin blog as Io is actually a kintype of mine. I'm Io, Io is me, that kinda jazz. ]

[ * Same DNI criteria from main applies here ]

[ * I post decent art on main (mainly silly Ink stuff or just utmv stuff in general) but also mess around with friends. It's fun ]

[ * Also here's the info post about Io! May come in handy. ]

[ * I believe this is all I gotta say. ummm time to have fun ig???? May also doodle things for this blog ]

Having to re-post everything does mean I can make edits I've been wanting to make, at least??

EDIT: I just noticed I didnt mention the shirts were seen on an adorable drawing by lillhappycloud!!

Less than a month having this side blog and I already mixed up which blog to reblog things too, haha. Ah well, it was bound to happen eventually, and it should be sorted out now!

The bigger question is, what to post here next...? The cadence I'm hoping for is to do one major thing every week or so - be that posting my own stuff or putting together a themed reblog queue.

However, one thing I'm still very uncertain about is how much I want to mini-post about my thoughts as I take my Fordola alt through the MSQ. I'm basically liveblogging that on a friend's Discord, but I'm not sure I want to flood the public tumblr tag for her with my idle musings on what she might think if she ever met, say, Cyella.

(look, okay, I did the ShB role quest capstone on her last night, I just think they might get along surprisingly well...)

(also featuring: what Fordola alt looks like normally.)

Anyway, in between that, I might reblog a few random things here or there that catch my eye. Or such is my goal. We shall see how well I'm able to stick to it in practice!
